You gain from no 'mashed potato' dickheads but you lose a lot more in terms of the cheers and roars and oohs and aahs that create the atmosphere and build/release the tension.

Golf is so much fun, especially when tigger isn't playing so it isn't just a giant American wankfest over the fact that he exists. I guess most people just don't have the patience to watch it but they're missing out on the greatest of sporting theatre/drama.
